Understanding Poetry: Tetractys

Greek τετρακτύς for tetrad, (triangle of 10 points in total) this poetry form influenced by math and geometry consists of at least 5 lines to form one stanza. A strict syllable count of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 must be achieved when writing this poem, upon any subject matter (but poems of thought are often used.) Rhyme scheme does not have to be established, but if more stanzas followed for the tetractys then a bereversed (or mirror image palindrome pattern) can be used.

This is Me...

Poet. Lover of 140 characters with that little blue bird called Twitter. I am a hodgepodge of sorts. You know, the greatness that comes from a smorgasbord filled with little tidbits of passion, truth, change, growth, and desire for a better day. I am a writer. I am an artist. I am a music aficionado. I am an advocate. I am a complete bibliophile. I am a proud Geek. I have a weird obsession with Scrabble. I'm different, but that's okay. Loving God, and practice tolerance and love as my foremost religion, regardless if you're an atheist or a Buddhist monk. Because love makes the world go around, people.
☮ Note: I always encourage dialogue and engagement on posts! +1's are just too easy to hand out. Not interested in constant re-shares, cliche one liners, annoying .gifs, constant music uploads (post to appropriate circle for that) and soundbites. Spammers, hate speech, trolls, nudity, NSFW/explicit content, evil mother in laws, or anything that violates Google's standards need not apply to circle me. I moderate ALL posts, and do not tolerate hijacking of threads, inappropriateness, bullying, or disrespect. Only positivity lives here.
